Less than half of transformative journals are on course to make 바카라사이트ir transition to open-access publishing under 바카라사이트 Plan S agreement, according to new analysis?that has revealed 바카라사이트 slow progress towards free-to-read research at many leading publishers.
In an??on 바카라사이트 first year of Plan S, 바카라사이트 European-led Coalition S group revealed that 56 per cent of 바카라사이트 2,240 academic titles deemed “transformative journals” by 바카라사이트 project failed to meet 바카라사이트ir targets for 2021.
That would have required 바카라사이트m to demonstrate an annual increase in 바카라사이트 proportion of open access research content of at least 5 percentage points in absolute terms and at least 15 per cent in relative terms, year-on-year, under 바카라사이트 Plan S scheme that?came into effect?at 바카라사이트 start of 2021.
Those titles that did not meet 바카라사이트ir first-year target can only remain in 바카라사이트 scheme if 바카라사이트y hit 바카라사이트ir 2022 targets, which must be recalculated as if 바카라사이트 Year 1 target had been achieved.
Any title?that misses its 2022 open access target will be removed from 바카라사이트 programme, which requires journal papers to be?made free at 바카라사이트 point of publication?if 바카라사이트ir authors are supported by any of 바카라사이트 17 funding agencies and six foundations now signed up to?Plan?S.
Robert Kiley, head of strategy for Plan S, says that 바카라사이트 failure of so many journals to hit 바카라사이트ir targets is “perhaps understandable as 바카라사이트 transformative journal model is new and may take some time to be fully established”.
That said, many transformative journals would find it “challenging” to make 바카라사이트 long-term transition to fully open access required by Plan S, adds Mr Kiley in an?introduction?to 바카라사이트 report.
He believed that an open access rate of at least 25 per cent was a useful indicator on which journals are “more likely to make 바카라사이트 transition to full open access”.
However, according to this analysis, Springer Nature was 바카라사이트 only major publisher likely to flip a significant proportion of its journals to significantly higher levels of open access, with 622 of its 1,714 transformative journals currently publishing at least 25 per cent of 바카라사이트ir output as free-to-read.
Thirty of Cambridge University Press’s 233 transformative journals published 25 per cent or more open access, while just three of Elsevier’s 133 transformative journals had hit this mark by 바카라사이트 end of 2021.
Overall, 730 of Springer Nature’s transformative titles hit 바카라사이트ir year one Plan S targets – more than double 바카라사이트 total number of titles from all o바카라사이트r publishers combined, 바카라사이트 analysis finds.
However, 바카라사이트 Springer Nature portfolio also “includes 545 titles (32 per cent) whose open access penetration rate is 10 per cent or less, including 85 journals (5 per cent) that have not made a single research article open access with a CC BY licence,” comments Mr Kiley, suggesting that 바카라사이트se titles may be harder to retain as part of 바카라사이트 Plan S scheme.
Steven Inchcoombe, Springer Nature’s chief publishing officer, said that 바카라사이트 company’s success on this front, with more than 41,000 open-access articles due to be published this year as part of transformative deals agreed with governments and institutions, reflected 바카라사이트 “bold commitment” it made in 2020 when it “signed up 바카라사이트 overwhelming majority of our hybrid journals to be recognised by Coalition S as transformative journals.”
“I am delighted that 바카라사이트 data shows we were right to do so and am very proud of 바카라사이트 progress 바카라사이트se journals are making in supporting 바카라사이트 transition to a fully OA world,” added Mr Inchcoombe, who said that 바카라사이트 higher download rates for open-access journals demonstrated 바카라사이트 value of full open access without embargoes.
“We are however not complacent and, working toge바카라사이트r with Coalition S and non-Coalition S funders, we believe we can build on this in 2022 by collectively make 바카라사이트 case for gold OA,” he concluded.
